AMG Components??
Hey guys..i was just wondering if you can buy AMG components for a 430 engine..im asking because my sister told me that her friend who has an E430 in asia had upgraded everything in the engine with AMG components..im not sure if he had a supercharger or something..i tried searching on the net but i cant get a dealer or a website that sells "AMG upgrades" for a 430 or any MB for that matter..oh ya..she also told me that her husband was driving the 430 and her friend was driving his M5 and they raced..the 430 was always beside the M5 until they stopped at around 260kph(back in 2001)thanks

Benz dealer told me $230 for the CLK 55 air box - am I askin for the wrong thing? The black engine cover where the air filters sit inside of right?
